Does anyone feel like they really need 8MB?

How many applications does 2MB hold, on average? I am deciding
between Visor or V Deluxe.

Has anyone heard of new apps (like maybe mapping/GPS stuff) that will require a huge chunk of memory in the future?

2M holds a lot of stuff, but it doesn't hold a ton of stuff. My Palm III has 2M, and it is 75% full.

On the Visor if you dislike the "Date Book 3 Lite" that it ships with you could use almost 400K replacing it (I don't know how big DateBk3 is, but Action Names which i do use is that large).

If you store a bunch of doc files that can take a big chunk.

As for GPS datafiles that would take a lot of memory, but I expect the GPS springboard to have the datafiles on it (and not take your Visor memory away). I don't know if the datafiles will be on FLASH (and upgradable), or masked ROM and forever fixed, meaning you may need to consume memory for maps that have been usefully updated.

I picked 8M, but I allready know I'll use the Visor a lot. Some people buy a Palm and end up not using it a whole lot. Others get it and use it all the time. I don't know a good way to tell which kind of person you will be before you get one. Sorry.
